camping fridges

go for it , ill wait till your sparco its cheaper ta go ta ice c. ream van

 

I don't think you'd want to use a gas fridge in the tent or in the bus if it's not plugged in properly. Venting problems etc but ok to use a three way on electric only.

 

Waeco is well worth it though, we had ours on from Saturday through to a Monday and it uses no power at all, scary how long and well it works

 

yeh they are good great if you use um alot

 

Fill the whole van with dry ice - it's not that expensive

 

Waeco's are expensive, but if you're starting from scratch with no provision of a fridge in your van, then it's not that different cost-wise to fitting a gas fridge with an underslung tank for LPG (which is the best way to go with gas fridges because they use a lot more than you would for just cooking). And when running on electric, 3 way fridges use a lot more power.

 

I bought the Waeco cool box after seeing Ken Regency's. Sits nicely and securely in the walk through between seats. Quiet to leave running all night and maintains a temperature rather than just x degrees below ambient.

We've got a bog standard beer fridge runs on hook-up in the awning and cost £30.00 second hand.

 

which size/model? and do you have a photo of it in between the seats as I have been thinking of doing same for a while (and wanted to someone else first

 

It's a TC 21 FL

 

I got a RM123 for £100 to replace the 2 way model ,its fantastic ,works whilst your driving ,then on hook up at camp plus on gas when no hook up ,get so cold it will freeze meat and milk if you put it on the top setting after a few days

 

I'm gonna try and convert the coolbox to a fridge in the Landmark

I have a Euroengel 12 volt compressor coolbox which can actually make it to -18 C (3* freezer). It uses an average of about 1 amp as a fridge and just over 4 amps actually running.
It would have cost around £350 new. I got mine with a broken switch for £40 at Beaulieu Boat Jumble a few years ago.
It sits between the cooker and the rear facing seat in my Devon. It makes a good seat as it is tough enough to sit on the lid.

 

Do you know what the energy consumption in ah/h is?

 

46w or 3.83A

 

TC is thermocool which is an electric peltier cooler I think. Battery killers!!!
